Chapman’s Peak survivor returns to face his fears in a self-driving Benz

When it comes to adverts in South Africa, we have some of the best in the world.  You may remember this story from 30 years back of Christopher White, who experienced a terrifying crash off the world famous Chapmans Peak.  His survival was a complete miracle and the fact that the 100m drop did not kill him means there is more to the story.  Mercedes-Benz decided to take it one step further and put White in its most technologically advanced vehicle as part of a 5min 39sec commercial commemorating his accident.  We think this story is incredible, take a look at the video below.
